Invictus response

I choose the Springboks and Nelson Mandela. The relationship they made was amazing, because at the beginning of the movie the Springboks were just a regular rugby team who didn’t like the African Americans. Towards the end of the movie only Francois Pinaar, the captain of the Springboks, was the only Caucasian player who liked and admired Mandela (for there was also an african american player named Chester). Then at the end of the movie, all of the Springbok players liked Mandela and noted that all south africans no matter what race are the same.

That represented the past apartheid in South Africa, because at the start every race were against each other, like the African Americans were against the Springboks, and at the end everyone saw each other as one, I mean there were still people who were arguing, but most of them were celebrating as one big nation, and at the end (the apartheid) everyone treated mostly everyone the same, as equals.
